diesel Grand Cherokee - weight - Photo 02

I figured once the Grand was loaded to the roof with clothes, tools and whatever, and the Scrambler on the trailer stuffed with spare parts that it would be at or over the maximum weight limit. With a published curb weight of 5,500 lbs and a max towing capacity of 7,400 lbs, I felt like it was right at the 12,900 lb limit by the seat of the pants scale. At 11,560 without driver, it was still at least 1,000 lbs from max. I could have thrown a few more of my spare axles on the trailer while in New Jersey.
